So glad I found the Men's Room



Recommended Posts

I've been all over this site, and as much as I enjoy reading the stories that all of the ladies share, I've noticed that guys are few and far between. Just wanted to stop in and say, "hey". It's good to have some people that I can fully identify with.

I agree with Jake. We're here, but a lot of guys tend to keep to themselves. If you guys need anything I can provide, just shoot me a PM and I'll get you my best response.

Hey Fellas - I'm glad to have found this group as well. I actually just got banded yesterday and am looking for some support and have questions that I'd like to address to the guys, but - like you said, it's mostly ladies on here. Very refreshing to see a Men's Room here. I'll be around!

I have my 2 week post surgery follow up tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it! I feel like things have gone well and and I'manxious to hear what the doc has to say.

My doc had me do the two week preop diet and now I'm finishing up the post op diet. hopefully tomorrow I get to move on to pureed/soft food... maybe my stomach will stop sounding like sea hunt...

I'll keep ya posted..

Lance... I had two weeks ago Friday, stayed overnight in hospital. came home Saturday. found it much easier to sleep in a recliner than in bed. made a point to move every hour for at least 10 minutes and go up from there. By Wednesday that "punched in the gut: feeling was pretty much gone. still just a little tender on one incision, but for the most part pain is gone. as for diarrhea from the all liquid diet... damn I need to put a seat belt on the toilet so I don't blast off... sure will be glad to chew somethin'...

I'll let ya all know how tomorrow goes.

This group is amazing! I stumbled on it today and have been blown away. to have this community is great and especially the mens section. We have different portions, different needs and our bodies act different. It's wonderful to have other guys who understand exactly what's goin on!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
